come now ryry, you know Red Bull wont set up for the race till FP3, and you know Mclaren are showboating on fumes in FP1, and we all saw what Kimi did with the old slipstream, non race legal setup they always deploy to opiate the Tifosi before the harsh realities of quali come into play and the usual mea culpa is wheeled out

You might be underestimating McLaren. Mercedes engine, and they can easily move up the order with a special low drag package here....I think they might, just might have a chance to fight for a podium again this weekend.

Especially if Rosberg sports his swiss knife again.

Just watching FP2 . Timings weird in China. Might not get to see quali but will see the race.
How come it takes an hour just to fire up an F1 car with all those mechanics and engineers hanging around?

Surely Hamilton for Pole. Enough faffing about, enough slight feeling of doom come quali, give us a spring in our step, Lewis.

I thought it took more like an hour and a half cuz they gotta heat the water and oil and all that $#@! up first before they can fire the engine?

[racechick]

We'll if that's the case surely they will have done all the warming up before practise starts? Why did it then take an hour to start it?

[Nin-Chin]

Reminds me of when Lewis' car wouldn't fire up before the race in China in 2011.

Anyway Nico hits trouble and they are nearly on equal terms in terms of mileage.

[racechick]

Did I hear Nico may have to change a gear box?

[Nin-Chin]

Paddy says he's confident they won't have to change it.

Merc seem to have 0.5 on the rest of the field. They normally turn it up even more for quali too.

good point. beats me!

[geetface9]

Interesting qualifying session ahead! We'll see if rosberg's car is the one to blow up this time

Don't get too excited. Even if he did, something will probably screw up Lewis

[geetface9]

what if this is all part of nico's punishment "we won't have to change his gearbox that way it'll blow up during the race as punishment"

As if the threatening of the boot from the drivers seat for next year isn't bad enough

[geetface9]

I hope you're joking and that one just went over my head cuz I didn't hear about that
